Jeanette Illidge absolutely elevated this book. Her vocal versatility with accents, with, dialects, and more kept me well engaged. The story, to me, wasn't anything I hadn't experienced from anime. Therefore, the bulk of the entertainment came from Davi's portrayal and her ability to breathe life into every other character, with an ability you'd often see in full cast audiobooks. On its own, the story is about a 3. Jeanette's performance is a 5. I want to bring it to a 4, but I'm hesitant. It wasn't bad. It was good. It wasn't great. But it was pretty good. So 3.75.
